Firefox Portable

Permanent TEMP installation

Submitted by giovanni on March 8, 2007 - 4:48am

Hello,

Our company distributes interactive CDs with a web-based navigation.
We checked out Firefox Portabel a couple of month ago and tested its features. Especially we liked the fact that we could give our clients a 100% compatible browser that would display our content optimally that would not require additional installation by the user or the existence of another browsing software.

The version we tested copied and LEFT the browser in der TEMP folder in Windows. On our last-check, the version was removed every time, so the whole thing loades slower.

Firefox issues, formhistory.dat file undeleteable

Submitted by kmank on March 7, 2007 - 12:23pm

Can anyone tell me if there are issues with removing Firefox?

A few days ago I started having issues with Firefox not being able to complete certain tasks - sending form submissions, etc. So I thought I would remove portable FF and reinstall the again. After backing up my bookmarks, I tried to simple delete the PortableFirefox folder. However, I can delete everything but the following file:
PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\profile\formhistory.dat

Actually, I can delete it, but when I refresh Explorer, it "magically" reappears.

Firefox resets on some computers

Submitted by reddeye on March 7, 2007 - 12:01pm

I've been using Firefox Portable for a few months now, and it works on my home computers and work computer (I have admin rights on both), but when I take it to school and use it on their computers (where I don't have admin rights) it resets. It keeps all my extensions but resets them like I've never used them before, removes either all of some of my bookmarks, and resets the theme to default. Has anybody experienced this or have any solutions? Thanks in advance for any help.

How to handle 2 profiles

Submitted by MaverikCH on March 7, 2007 - 9:33am

Hi there

I got two profiles a private and a office one. i tried to handle it with a pfofiles.ini but as already mentioned here, there is no profile manager though it wont work.

Hoped there would be some settings possiblity in an ini file that would ask to run profile 1 or 2 with a small dialog.

In another Thread you wrote there would be no request for an own programed profile manager.

any idea how i may handle my wish? Smile

2 Bugs in 2.0.0.2: PopUp Windows Size, Saved Passwords

Submitted by neatneatneat on March 6, 2007 - 3:23am

Hi John or whoever,

I've been a hugely enthusiastic user of Portable Firefox for many years now - I thank you for making my life easier by creating Portable Firefox in the first place.

Yesterday I updated from v 2 to 2.0.0.2 and have noticed 2 small bugs that I thought I should bring to your attention.

1) Sometimes 2.0.0.2 opens popup windows in the wrong size. As an example, click on the link marked 'Angebot per Email' on this page in Firefox Portable 2.0.0.2 , then click on it in the non-Portable Firefox with the same version number:
